Market commentary
While theres nothing here that has any provable historic connection with the De Paolo Ba Wagon, theres equally nothing that says the surviving block and various period bits didnt come from the Ba Wagon, either. It is the only one of its kind, and no contender is likely to emerge at this point in time so the new owner got the one and only with its David Uihlein provence to give it credibility. It is a lot of history, even at this price.
